Ford brake failure

HAVING worked in the engineering side of the industry, I can't believe a dangerous problem like this has escaped Ford's notice. Even worse, I can't believe it wasn't the subject of a recall. As you say, the sudden failure of a brake hose and the loss of braking is a major concern for anyone driving a Falcon or a Territory. I'm not trying in any way to play down the problem, but you don't lose total braking effect if a brake hose fails. The braking system is designed so that if a front hose fails you still have the rear brakes to use, and vice versa.
